PORSCHE 997 TURBO OIL CHANGE DIY & FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT

/ @nsxavier997
It is time to bring the 911 up to date on service. Maintenance items due are the annual oil and filter change along with the annual four wheel alignment. This video outlines the basic steps taken to perform an oil and filter change on a 997.1 Turbo along with a rough outline on the procedure for doing a computerized four-wheel-alignment. I have also included some highway pulls with the new custom exhaust setup and new steering wheel installed. The car is running the best it ever has and this is what it takes to keep it that way. Love your car, they'll love you back.

Amazing video bro! Your work is so clean and professional. Thanks for making an awesome video!

[@adventmutual2194]

Keep up the good content! Love the channel.

[@stcroixatlast]

Thank god for this dude. So glad I found him. I’m trippin about modifying mine tho, 2007 turbo 23k miles. I want to, I do. I’m afraid of what it’ll do to the value, but I want to get the most out of the car and do it the way I want to do it. I don’t know what to do. I’m fuckin torn.

[@NSXavier997]

Thank you for the feedback! It means a lot. It's your car and I would encourage you to do with it what you please. There's so much locked potential for these things in stock form and even slightly modifying them opens up many new dynamics of the car. Values of them are on the rise, and you'll indeed gain the most with a stock-low mileage example, however, I think you'll have the least fun with it by taking that route. If you keep the modifications reversible, and retain all the factory parts, you will by no means kill the value to where you'll lose money; a modified 07 with 23k miles recently sold for $84k after fees on BaT.. a few years ago, the same car would have been in the 60's. bringatrailer.com/listing/2007-porsche-911-turbo-90/ Own it. Drive it. Mod it. Enjoy it while you have it.

[@sutherlacd27]

Did you buy it to drive or as an investment?

[@NSXavier997]

@@sutherlacd27 I bought it because I love the car. Having the values on them be on the rise is just an added bonus.

[@sutherlacd27]

@@NSXavier997 Same for me. If the OP is the same as us then he absolutely should modify it.

[@DR_CarShow]

Great video and old school beats in the background. I can't wait for spring weather to hit the Chicagoland area to get my Turbo on the road. Is that your shop? I'd love to have such a place to work on my cars. Stay safe and happy motoring!

[@NSXavier997]

Thank you man! I bet you’re itching to get that bad boy out on the roads. Yes, this was filmed at the dealership I work for.

[@Triple_A_Dogs]

Highly recommend a shirt mic or a directional mic to pick up your voice better in the car.

[@martijnbras818]

Learning a lot from your videos. Great stuff!

[@NSXavier997]

Thank you!

[@Ryanlai-ng]

Thank you for the helpful video, just wondering what is your up to date alignment spec?

[@aolsen6874]

Just a thought, with both the front and the rear measurement of camber being .4 degrees off. Couldnt that mean that the car or the lift is just a slight bit out of level in the first place?

[@rickiejones114]

Like your video on your Porsche 997 Turbo thinking of buying one with Tiptronic transmission where is your shop in Bmore.

[@mariodiniz21]

That exhaust sounds nuts. Just from watching the video I can almost feel how brutal this car feels, what. a. thing!! Impossible not to love it. The steering/engine/gearbox combo feels delicious for sure. Where did you get that exhaust? Does it have any mufflers?

[@NSXavier997]

Thanks! Appreciate that the cars brutalness came through on camera! No mufflers, just 3” cat deleted x pipe design with resonators. I have another video on here showcasing the exhaust and who made it.

[@tomburns890]

Good video! And Wow you’ve done a lot of things yourself. Congrats. I had a 996 turbo stick & now a 997 turbo Tiptronic. Do you ever pour some oil in the filter to fill the sump pump or pull fuel fuses to prime it before starting or no? And, do you have a DSC controller? I got one and it made a very nice change to the suspension. Oh, and any idea why my steering is so stiff I see you can turn the wheel with one hand & I can’t I have to grab the wheel or use two hands? Thx

[@tariqabdullah7074]

Thanks for the info for a new Porsche owner !!

[@NaifJamali]

Good work bro

[@omaro_6R]

What dash is that?? Sick

[@tzuhau]

What happened to the TE37?

[@NSXavier997]

The rear dish is too deep on the TE37’s to allow the alignment heads to mount to them properly. I swapped to factory wheels to do the alignment, and then put the TE37’s back on when I was done.

[@terryhutson4671]

Looking good bruh!

[@danjko888]

Love the explanations in the videos. Where do you get those black ramp things before lifting up the car?

[@NSXavier997]

Hey thanks! check out www.raceramps.com - definitely worth having for lowered vehicles.

[@778075]

Good DIY video. Does the car need to be level to drain the oil fully? I just have ramps to do work on.

[@NSXavier997]

Thanks! You will probably get the best results having everything 100% level; I would back the car up onto the ramps that you have and then use a floor jack to raise the front of the vehicle and then support it with two jack stands on the two front jack points. That should be the quickest way to set things up while giving you plenty of room to work AND having the car as level as possible.

[@fenchurchassociates3336]

What replacement head unit (PCM) have you used?

[@NSXavier997]

It’s a SONY double din apple CarPlay head unit. I have removed it though and am now running the factory PCM. To me, the aftermarket head units just don’t look right in the car.

Yo! I subscribed because u had the turbo wheels...😅

[@stonesonsilver9344]

Looks good man! Curious about your stereo setup. Did you diy it and how do you like it?

[@NSXavier997]

Hey thank you! The stereo is a Sony Apple CarPlay using a MOST converter box that is able to interface with the factory amplifier. Look out for a DIY video on that install in the coming weeks.

[@trading-university.]

NIce one thanks

[@nev997TT]

Love the videos, keep them going! Do you have any HP numbers for the custom tune your running? I’ve got a 2009 6-speed Turbo that’s currently tuned to 700 WHP on 93 octane and, while it’s fun, it’s a bit much for the busy roads; I’m in the DMV as well. I’ve been looking to get a milder tune added to my COBB system, something that I could chose to run on most days and was curious to know more about your tune. Thanks!

[@NSXavier997]

Hey thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. I have never Dyno'd my car, but plan to in the very near future just so I can further custom tune it and get some solid #'s on paper. If I had to guestimate my power level, I would have to say that it is easily making 550whp and probably around 500wtq. The custom tune I had was mainly to fix the COBB OTS map that seem to not run very smooth especially with the variances in fuel quality and ambient temperature changes affecting knock sums. The car is pretty manageable on the streets with this power level... have to be kind of careful on the back windy roads though. Connect with me on Rennlist, 6Speed, or iNsta if you would like to plan to meet up with a private group in the DC/MD/VA @NSXavier

[@sutherlacd27]

Since you have the Cobb have you talked to Sam at ByDesign? He has great reviews and when I talked to him he said it would be easy to make my tune run on the safer side of things.

[@nev997TT]

@@sutherlacd27 I hadn’t heard of him until you mentioned him. Thanks for sharing, he definitely seems to know his stuff!! Too bad I’m on the east coast. For the time being, I’ve created a new preset on my electronic boost controller which reduces the peak boost and rate at which the turbos spool up. Definitely a noticeable decrease in power which is good. With the electronic boost controller at least I have some options at the push of a button. Thanks!
